The scientists plan to use genetically encoded multimeric nanoparticles to investigate particle movement in more complex organisms.

In a new study published in Science Advances Sept. 10, a team of UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent ...

When we think about the blueprint of life, we tend to focus on DNA — the genetic code stored in every cell of our bodies. But DNA is only part of the story. For those instructions to matter, they must ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based ...

In the 1940s, scientists at the recently established National Cancer Institute were trying to breed mice that could inform our understanding of cancer, either because they predictably developed ...

This is a ribosome, its different parts depicted in different colours. Ribosomes are the protein factories of our body’s cells. Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive ...

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have now shown that cancer cells can use these so-called ribosomes ...

Cells endure starvation conditions by rewiring their metabolic pathways. For example, in yeast, ribosomes are known to coat mitochondria. Exactly how this behavior promotes survival has remained ...

Viruses infect cells with a goal of taking control of their protein-building machinery to churn out new viral copies. Cells ...

“Until now, each of the 1 [million] to 10 million ribosomes within a cell has been thought to be identical and interchangeable,” study coauthor Maria Barna, a developmental biology and genetics ...
